However, just last week their top competitor announced that it was launching a similar product. Phillip and Karen are trying to come up with a counter-strategy to make sure their competitor does not gain market share. Karen recommends that they price their product really low, so low that their competitor will not be able to compete. Because this product is priced toward price-conscious consumers, their target market is likely to view prices as highly attractive.

Karen suggests that they only price the product extremely low to drive their competitor out of that particular market. After their competitor has left the market, then they can raise prices once again. Phillip tells Karen he is not sure this is legal if their sole intent is to drive out the competition. He informs Karen that this is a type of
 A) predatory pricing.
  B) price gouging.
  C) price discrimination.
  D) price fixing.
  E) deceptive pricing.
